Decided to throw a little 3' cast net near the feeder tonight in my new (last Nov) 1 acre pond just to check on the CNBG that I stocked in mid March. Caught probably 10 with average size being a little over 6"! No problems there. But, what really blew me away was the bass I caught. I stocked 120 American Sportfish F1 Tiger Bass 2" fingerlings on June 6th. What I caught tonight was the fattest, healthiest looking, most beautiful SIX INCH bass I've ever seen! That's 4 inches of growth in only 46 days! If I did my math right, that's about an inch every 12 days or so. Is that normal growth? If so, will it continue at this rate as long as conditions remain optimal? For background, I am fertilizing to keep bloom going and have tons of forage in the way of BG and FHM. I also am feeding Purina AquaMax MVP twice a day. I'll take a pic next time. I was so excited that all I could think about was getting him/her back into the water!

Sounds great!
Good idea on concentrating the fish with feed before casting the net.
